The OPE Approach to Renormalization: Operator Mixing

High Energy Physics - Theory 2026-04-17 v1

Abstract

We extend the OPE-based renormalization algorithm to composite operators with operator mixing, focusing on scalar operators in ϕ4\phi^4 and ϕ3\phi^3 models. Using the OPE of operators with a fundamental field, we show that the ZZ-factors of these composite operators are determined by OPE coefficients of lower-dimensional traceless symmetric tensor operators, and establish a recursive renormalization framework. We report the five-loop anomalous dimensions for operators with Δ5\Delta\le5 in the ϕ4\phi^4 model and the two-loop anomalous dimensions for operators with Δ10\Delta\le10 in the ϕ3\phi^3 model. These results further demonstrate the versatility and efficiency of the OPE-based algorithm.
